Foundation Skills

Foundation question: Will the decision meet its "operation or battlespace doctrine" objectives?

This checklist identifies some of our key foundation skills that can be applied to meet the needs of any situation. Examples of these skills are available on request. You might have a need and think there is no one able to help you; ask us as we will be able to give you a "kick start" solution. That is,we can look over the horizon to apply context to the situation.

We take the view that the core question to ask is: "is this the best way to support operations"?
